Justification for not dividing the tender into lots. Please ensure that the justification refers to the services of this specific tender. Kindly find further details regarding said justification below: The evaluation is for both a process evaluation and a value for money evaluation. It would not be financially feasible to separate these work packages as two consultants would need to familiarize themselves with the same content. In addition interviews and date collection would be duplicated.
